FTL 98 Christmas

If we think about snow, maybe it will cool us off? My kitchen is sweltering from the baking I’ve been doing, but I just ran out of flour, so during my reprieve before I hit the grocery, I made my weekly Christmas card using the Fall to Layout #98:

Anyone who knows me knows I love things in threes!! This sketch made me happy (I have some more ideas for this one, too) so I quickly made my card using the snowflake from Christmas Post and some Cherry Cobbler ink:

The bottom panel is Riding Hood Red, wheeled with the Cornelli Lace jumbo wheel, then embossed with the Finial Press EF. The sentiment from Short & Sweet is layered on an oval that has been sprinkled with DD glitter for a “marquis” effect:

Silly girl! What are you baking that you ran out of flour? Must be a lot of something!

The card is just wonderful. Even with the CAS layout you've managed to put in some yummy elements! Love you idea of the glittered oval! Embossing, too! I have been contemplating that Cornelli wheel since it came out last catalog. It looks meander stitching on a quilt!
